Measures have already been taken. The Human Rights Defender of Armenia, Kristinne Grigoryan, announced this during Monday’s Facebook press conference of the RFE/RL Armenian Service—and when asked why she had asked not to disseminate the video in which the dead body of a tortured Armenian service woman is seen, and whether they should speak about this incident in all their addresses.
"The video, subjected to professional medical analysis, has already been sent to the relevant commissions, working groups of the UN and the Council of Europe, and I will consistently work in this regard—making sure that it is given a proper assessment.
The [Armenian] female soldier was targeted [by Azerbaijan] not only because she was a soldier, not only because she was Armenian, but because she was a woman. And that particular brutality has been duly presented to all competent authorities," Grigoryan added.
When asked whether she informed the speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi—who was in Armenia on a visit—about this incident, the Armenian ombudswoman said that she did not have a meeting with Pelosi.
"But the best effort was made, and our report was made available to our diplomatic colleagues, including the [US] embassy staff to properly present the facts to the high-level delegation," she added.
Reflecting on her ad hoc report on the latest Azerbaijani military aggression on Armenia, the Human Rights Defender’s said that the first place in this report is the cases of torture against Armenian prisoners of war, which they have analyzed through several videos.
"Also, the respective torture on the bodies of the fallen servicemen, the videos accompanied by all the vocabulary of hatred, which they [i.e., the Azerbaijanis] proudly record and disseminate on their [social] media. Two videos refer to two Armenian female soldiers. This is presented in classified—non-public—part of the report.
Also, we have presented data on the [Azerbaijani] targeting of the [Armenian] civilian population. As of September 15, we had had data on 1 dead civilian, as well as 7—currently 8—civilian injuries, including the elderly, an old woman with disabilities, etc.
We have documented also cases of targeting civilian infrastructures—houses, power lines, [natural] gas pipelines, schools, medical centers, ambulances.
We have recorded cases of targeting journalists, consistent practice of creating environmental problems; in particular, more than 10 hectares of Jermuk [city] forests were burned," said the ombudswoman.
According to her, the number of Armenian civilian casualties is being determined; before that, the Investigative Committee of Armenia had reported about two such casualties.
